MA in Interpreting and Translation, University of Bath, UK
Dariga Baktygereyeva has been a senior lecturer at the College of Humanities and Education since 2023. She received her bachelor degree in translation studies at the Suleiman Demirel University in 2011. She then continued her studies at the University of Bath, and is currently finalising her PhD in the same field from Durham University, UK.
Her research focuses on investigating the factors that contribute to interpreters’ positive mental states and promote lifelong learning in students. The study is a mixed method research that utilizes various psycholinguistic research methods such as eye-tracking, physiological data acquisition (heart rate variability, galvanic skin response), retrospective interviews, and subjective questionnaires to analyze cognitive, affective, and behavioral patterns in interpreters.
At present, three articles are undergoing preparation for publication:
- The impact of time pressure on information acquisition and processing patterns in professional and student interpreters.
- The influence of multimodal input modality on information retention and comprehension within the Working Memory Model.
- The effect of perceived workload and skills on the intrinsic motivation of professional and student interpreters.
